It would be really great if Mozilla could pick Servo back up, and make it Firefox's engine, and make it like chromium, where the engine and browser are not so tighltly coupled together. GNOME Web could be so much better if it had the performance of Firefox.

What's wrong with gecko?

[–] independantiste@sh.itjust.works 16 points 8 months ago

It cannot be embedded the same way as blink to use other front ends, instead they need to be forks of Firefox with customisations that need to be maintained every update

GNOME Web stopped using Gecko as a backend when it was still embeddable. They decided on WebKit for other reasons.
